Please answer the following questions in the comment section below:

# 1. Theoretical Question:
a. Explain what overflow and underflow are in the context of Java Input/Output.
b. How can overflow and underflow issues impact the reliability of a Java program?
c. Provide examples of situations where overflow and underflow might occur in Java.

# 2. Coding Question:
a. Write a Java program that takes two integer inputs from the user and performs the addition operation. Implement a mechanism to detect and handle overflow situations during addition.
b. Modify the program to include a subtraction operation and implement a mechanism to detect and handle underflow situations during subtraction.
c. Bonus: How would you extend the program to handle overflow and underflow for multiplication and division operations as well?

# 3. Theoretical Question:
a. Discuss the role of data types in preventing or mitigating overflow and underflow issues in Java.
b. How does Java handle overflow and underflow for different primitive data types?
c. Are there scenarios where overflow or underflow might still occur despite the use of appropriate data types?

# 4. Coding Question:
a. Implement a Java program that reads an integer input from the user and calculates its factorial. Include checks to handle overflow situations that might arise during the factorial calculation.
b. How would you optimize the program to handle larger factorials efficiently without encountering overflow?
